Bruce Springsteen, sees a movie is a great song born

One of the many great songs written by Bruce Springsteen was inspired by the viewing of the film by Louis Malle of 1980 entitled ‘Atlantic City’ played by Burt Lancaster And Susan Sarandon. The song has identical title and is part of the 1982 boss album “Nebraska” (Read the review here).

Atlantic City is a town full of casino located on the New Jersey coast.

Perhaps for this reason, being also a Springsteen a son of New Jersey, he was thus affected by the film that tells the story of Sally Matthews who leaves the native Canada to move to Atlantic City to work in the gambling sector and give himself a new life. But, you know, gambling rhymes with not very clean business and widespread underworld.

The song of
Bruce Springsteen
It tells a different story, but revolves, like the film, around Atlantic City: a place of dangerous dreams, a city dotted by a kind of crime to which it is almost impossible to escape.

“Everything dies, baby, that’s a fact/but Maybe Everything That Dies Some Day Comes Back/Put Your Makeup On, Fix Your Hair Up Pretty/and Meet Me Tonight in Atlantic City/Well, The Got A Job and I My Money Away/But I Got The Kind of Debs That no Honest no Honest no Honest no Honest no Honest no Honest. Man Can Pay/So I Drew Out What I Had from the Central Trust/and I Bought US Two Tickets On That Coast City Bus “.
